The transition to two kids was a whole new ballgame. My husband and I primarily spent the first year of our second daughter’s life in survival mode. Every time I thought I had a handle on things, a new challenge emerged and I was left to figure out how to divide my time, how to nurture both kids while still keeping a shred of myself intact, how to make peace with the reality that, no matter what, something would always feel like it was slipping. I had already started doing the work: reentering therapy, reconnecting with other mom friends who had been through similar struggles, and reminding myself that I wasn’t alone in these feelings. This sense of community is exactly why MotherClasses, powered by Momcozy, was created — to empower mothers and embrace career pauses as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. It’s part of Momcozy’s International Women’s Day campaign theme: OtHER Way — this idea that there’s no “correct” way to be a woman.
